Testbeds

An industrial testbed provides an opportunity to try out a new technology, material or process. Testbeds are specialised and controlled environments where experiments can be repeated and the risks of a new technology reduced, before using it in the actual production process or product. Testbeds should be open environments, where businesses and researchers can work together and uncover new opportunities.

Contact for closer collaboration:

In 2017, Produktion2030 opened up 12 national testbeds across Sweden. Our vision is that the national testbeds will create a forum in which industry, universities and research institutes will pool their resources. We hope that the testbeds will provide a place to perform tests that would be impossible in the parties’ own environments. The testbeds have specified their specialist areas. You are welcome to contact them about closer collaboration.

Digi-load The focus of the robot crane is on boosting the competitiveness of the Swedish surface treatment industry through automation and digitalisation. Sweden has around 400 surface treatment companies, contractors and in-house paint shops, a large number of which are SMEs. The industry is exposed to competition from low-wage countries and many have been forced to move production abroad. Competitiveness can be improved by increasing the level of automation and digitalisation i…Category: Address:

POSTECH – Positioning technology for the heavy manufacturing industry sector The purpose of this project is to radically improve the working environment and increase personal safety within the process and steel industry, by employing the latest technology for low and ultra-precision positioning and decision support. The system is in commercial use in mines, and Swerea MEFOS’ preindustrial testbeds are ideal for adapting the equipment to the conditions in heavy manufacturing, wit…Category: Address:

SUMMIT – SUSTAINABILITY, SMart Maintenance and factory desIgn testbed SUMMIT invites Swedish industry to use the Virtual Development Laboratory (VDL) at Chalmers University of Technology to develop, showcase and collaborate on the potential for digitalisation to increase competitiveness in the field of production development. The project focuses on sustainability (use of tools for resource efficiency and circularity), smart maintenance (use of machine learning algorithms to analy…Category: Address:

DiSAM – Digitalization of Supply Chain in Swedish Additive Manufacturing DiSAM will strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish manufacturing through improved production flexibility and quicker time to market. This will be accomplished by aligning the digital and physical supply chains in additive manufacturing (AM) for industrial production and product development of metal and polymer-based components using the most common AM techniques. The project will provide a solid platform, …Category: Address:

HJT – Hybrid Joining Testbed for Smart Production Hybrid joining – the combination of adhesive bonding and mechanical joining – is much in demand where multiple materials need to be used and connected. Effective future production requires a holistic perspective and a high degree of flexibility and automation. Joining currently involves more or less separate processes, with separate disciplines for adhesive bonding, assembly and mechanical joining or welding. The application submi…Category: Address:

Demonstrating and testing smart digitalisation for sustainable human-centered automation in production With three demonstrators in its laboratory environment, CSILabmiljön will evaluate and test digital solutions for sharing information, presenting instructions and improving individual resource planning. These implementations will enable a more efficient and flexible information…Category: Address:

DiLAM – Digitalized Large Scale Additive Manufacturing DiLAM will strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish manufacturing through improved production flexibility and quicker time to market. This will be achieved by combining the digital and physical supply chains for additive manufacture in industrial production and product development of large components. Additive manufacturing …Category: Address:

DigIN – Digital infrastructure for smart manufacturing This project will develop and demonstrate digital infrastructure for smart manufacturing, which integrates development and production information into a digital twin of the production system. This double model reflects both planned and real production systems and supports decisions on assembly planning, based on the latest pr…Category: Address:

Digilog – Digital and physical testbed for logistic operations in productions DigiLog is based on three existing testbeds that will be linked together via a digital model to simulate a typical modern logistics environment. The testbed project enables testing and experimenting with different configurations of components (different transport vehicles, e.g. forklift to AGV, level of manual vs automated handling), connects these with the help of IoT and allows for investigations into…Category: Address:

Vision Inspection Swedish Testbed - VIST The project will lay the groundwork for industry to develop customer-driven solutions based on knowledge and use of the latest techniques for interferometry over large areas and 3D mapping, but also for surface checks of geometry, colour, surface topography, surface finish and temperature. By connecting the existing networks with test centres at Linköping University, Mid Sweden University and Swerea to create a joint testbed, the project will hel…Category: Address:

UNIFICATION – Virtual Commissioning of Vehicle Maintenance Operations The Swedish automotive industry needs to adapt to changes in product ranges and volumes, not to mention rising customer demands, in order to remain internationally competitive. This creates a complicated situation with regard to production and aftermarket, which need to be able to handle the growing complexity …Category: Address:
